This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft a debug stick with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

In Minecraft, a debug stick is used to change the property of a block, but only in Creative mode (it does not work in Survival or Adventure mode). For example, you can use a debug stick to change the “snowy” property for a grass block to true or change the “axis” property for an oak log to adjust its orientation/appearance. A debug stick looks a lot like an enchanted stick because it has a purple glow to it.

A debug stick is an item that you can not make with a crafting table or furnace and it is not available through the Creative Inventory menu. You can only add a debug stick to your inventory using a game command.

Let’s explore how to add a debug stick to your inventory.

Where to find a Debug Stick in Creative Mode

A debug stick is not available in the Creative Inventory menu. You must use a game command such as the /give command to add this item to your inventory.

Item ID and Name

Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac)

In Minecraft, a debug stick has the following Name, ID and DataValue:

Description

  • Description is what the item is called and (Minecraft ID Name) is the string value that is used in game commands.
  • Data Value (or damage value) identifies the variation of the block if more than one type exists for the Minecraft ID.
  • Stack Size is the maximum stack size for this item. While some items in Minecraft are stackable up to 64, other items can only be stacked up to 16 or 1. (NOTE: These stack sizes are for vanilla Minecraft only. If you are running a mod, some mods may change the stack size for an item.)
  • Platform is the platform that applies.
